Midnight Cowboy

These shots are rubbish, but it was a little experiment at shooting in the dark . The Tawny Owl was taken about 1030 pm with my 300mm f2.8 set on f2.8, ISO 800 shutter speed `1/15th of a second and the Bat around the same time with a 18 to 200 zoom, flash and heavily cropped. The Bat is probably a Pipistrelle. Click on the images as they are marginally better enlarged

    A few weeks ago when we were walking up from Cot Valley one evening we had a number of bats swooping down over our heads. Great photo!

    WEll done Sam and Lisa...we have been out *owling* and have yet to see one let alone photograph them. Superb shot of the Bat given their speed and the conditions it was taken in.
